Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today it affirmed its 'BBB' long-term counterparty credit and insurer financial strength ratings on Bahrain-based non-life and life reinsurer Arab Insurance Group (B.S.C.) (ARIG), then withdrew the ratings at the company's request. As a result of the withdrawal, ARIG is no longer subject to ongoing surveillance by Standard & Poor's.
At the time of withdrawal, the rating reflected the company's very strong capitalization despite the 19% reduction in shareholders' equity in 2008, and the company's good competitive position. These factors were offset by marginal operating performance despite some improvement in the combined ratio, and execution risk relating to both business lines, and geographic expansion.
The outlook at the time of withdrawal was stable and reflected Standard & Poor's view that ARIG will maintain surplus capital in excess of the 'AA' (very strong) level in 2009. Also, the company is likely to continue to lag regional and international peers in terms of operating performance.

Beverly Johnson Brings Gunman to Breakup
Beverly Johnson may not have been trying to end things peacefully with former boyfriend Mark Anthony Burk when she allegedly came home with a gunman to force him to break up with her. According to TMZ, Burk filed a lawsuit against the supermodel for bringing home an armed man, Chuck Zito, in January 2009 to force the breakup. The suit accuses Zito of flashing the gun during the incident, while Johnson shouted at Burk to sign a separation agreement that would grant him $2,000 to move out of her house. Burk is suing Johnson for emotional distress and unspecified damages. In December 2009, Burk filed a lawsuit against Johnson for $5 million for not supporting him in the way that she had allegedly promised. Burk says Johnson asked him to be her partner and verbally agreed to provide for him, "for the rest of his life in the same style and manner that was established," according to TMZ. Read More:

ACTIONS Its gratifying to know that even in tremendously difficult fiscal times, our County Council is once again reaffirming its steadfast commitment to education. The Council has demonstrated this both in its effort to restore funding for our public schools and for our communitys college, Montgomery College. Todays action to restore more than $7 million in funding for the College sends a positive message to the more than 40,000 students annually who have come to rely on the high quality and value of a Montgomery College education. On behalf of our students--who have already been asked themselves to absorb a hefty share of the financial burden, with a second consecutive year of significant tuition increases--I want to sincerely thank the Council for its support. # # # |

a.k.a, Fosters Breath Join Date: May 2007 Location: Singapore Posts: 3,135 | The friendzone is not a place. Being nice to a girl doesn't give you the right to be their boyfriend. It's perfectly fine for them to treat you like a friend. Here's a good summary: How the Logic of "Friendzoning" Would Work If Applied in Other Instances: *Man walks into a store and finds employee* Man: Alright, I've had enough. Why haven't you guys hired me?! Employee: Uh...well sir, when did you put in your application? Man: I never filled out an application. Employee: Well sir, we can't consider you for employment if you've never filled out an application. Man: No, that's bullshit, because I've been coming here for years now, and every single time I tell you all how much I love this store and how much I appreciate your customer service, unlike some of your other customers might I add! Employee: Well, but that doesn't- Man: AND I even told you that I didn't have a job! Employee: But sir, that doesn't indicate to us that you would like a job at our store. And again, if you've never filled out an application, we can't consider you. Besides, we're not hiring. Man: OH! Not hiring, HA! What a laugh. I see your store go through seasonal workers all the time. They come and go like nothing, but you won't consider me as a part-time employee even though I KNOW you've been looking for workers to fill positions? That's insane! Employee: Sir, we've been looking to hire a few people for management positions. Do you have any management experience? Man: Well no, but what does that matter? Employee: ...Well sir, that's what we're looking for. You won't be suitable for the position without management experience. Man: Oh that's such a load of crap. You know, you'll be waiting around a long time for a manager if you don't lower your standards a little. Who cares if someone knows how to manage a store? I LOVE this store and I'm willing to work here, that's all that should matter to you. Employee: That...doesn't make any sense. Man: NO! I'm done. This is over. From now on, no more Mr. Nice Guy. Employee: Man: Employee: Man: Fuck you, slut. |

My Lords, [of the Board of Trade]
I have the Honour to send along with this a Copy of the Heads of the Quit Rent law and a Copy of the Bill as it was when rejected by the Council Your Lordships will no Doubt observe the Reasons which Induced the Council to lay it aside viz the paying the King his Rents in Commodities at so High a rate and at so many different Landings that the Expense in collecting them would have been Intollerable and in the End His Majesty would not had six pence neat per 100 acres
I have likewise sent a copy of the State of the Blank Patents the originals of which I transmitted by the way of South Carolina about six weeks ago The Gentlemen concerned were very fond of representing their Case to your Lordships at first But for what reasons I cannot tell they seem to be so cool about it now that I am not able to Guess whether they will make any defence or not, But I Hope this will not occasion any Delay in the order I shall expect from your Lordships on this subject I have ordered four or five of the Blank Patents to be proceeded against in His Majestys Court of Exchequer Lately Erected Here. And shall be sure to send your Lordships a Copy of the proceedings as soon as matters are brought to any issue. Several of our people have begun very modestly to Question whether His Majesty Has a power to Erect a Court of Exchequer here without an act of their Assembly Their Arguments are Borrowed from a Book published by Mr Morris Late Chief Justice of New York As my Instructions are very plane and
positive on this Head I shall not trouble myself with any of their Quibbles It would not however be amiss to send the opinions of some Eminent Lawyer on this Subject It has been a great Loss to me that I have never yet had the opinion of the Attorney and Sollicitor General concerning the validity of our Laws thō it was Laid before them eight months before I left LondonIn my Last I observed to your Lordships that it was a Great detriment to the Revenue that we Had no receiver General who resided within the province when I ordered the arrears of Quit rents to be collected I found they began to raise a clamour that as Mr Hammerton resided in South Carolina all the Ready money and bills of this County would be carried thither in order to take away all pretence for this complaint by the Advice of His Majestys Council I appointed a receiver who lives in the province until the Kings pleasure should be known some months after this upon Mr Hammertons coming into this province I took care to acquaint him with the Reasons of my proceeding which however were so far from satisfying Him that he immediately joined himself to those very people who fomented the abovementioned clamour, and who have left nothing undone to prejudice His Majesties Revenue At last he had the impudence to fix up an Advertisement dischargeing his Majesties subjects from paying their rents as required by me in a proclamation published Last April he took care Indeed to fly the province as soon as he had done this otherwise I should soon have made him sensible of his presumption, But as this madness of His may have a very bad effect at so critical a time as this as the people here want only a Handle for not paying their rents and as it is the Highest fault to his Majesties Government Here If it is not taken notice of in the manner it Deserves, I shall really think myself very hardly dealt by. If any servant of the Crown is conived at when Guilty of so gross an effront and of Obstructing the service of his Majesty. In so unsettled a Colony as this is, It will be Impossible ever to bring matters to a Happy settlement
I thank God I have no Quarrel with any Body in this Country upon my own account If I have any Enemies they are Enemies to the just Rights and Revenues of the Crown and while they remain such their friendship shall never be courted by

oPatientPlus articles are written by UK doctors and are based on research evidence, UK and European Guidelines. They are designed for health professionals to use, so you may find the language more technical than the condition leaflets.
See also separate articles Neonatal Jaundice and Jaundice in Pregnancy.
Jaundice is the yellow discolouration caused by accumulation of bilirubin in tissue. The normal serum bilirubin is approximately 3-20 μmol/L. Jaundice is not usually apparent until serum bilirubin is over 35 μmol/L. The detection and differential diagnosis of jaundice are important in clinical assessment. It is important to determine what investigations are appropriate and the significance of the results of investigations. Jaundice results from interference in the normal metabolism of bilirubin (including uptake, transport, conjugation and excretion). This may result from:
- Pre-hepatic causes (unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia), eg haemolytic anaemia.
- Hepatocellular disease.
- Cholestasis: intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholestasis.
- Bilirubin is produced from the breakdown of haemoglobin in the reticuloendothelial system. 95% of the circulating bilirubin is unconjugated and bound to albumin.
- The bilirubin-albumin complex is broken down by hepatocytes leaving free albumin circulating. The bilirubin is excreted in bile but only when made water soluble by conjugation with glucuronic acid in the liver.
- Bile is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder and then excreted into the duodenum under the influence of cholecystokinin. Bilirubin in the gut is converted with the help of bacteria to urobilinogen.
- Excretion is then either as urobilinogen from the kidney (only about 1%) or as urobilin (the vast majority) in the stool (having been broken down from urobilinogen by bacteria in the large bowel).
A thorough history and examination are essential to determine any likely cause of the jaundice.
- Any prodromal flu-like illness may suggest viral hepatitis.
- Pain: sudden onset of jaundice with pain in an otherwise healthy individual suggests gallstones. Slow onset of painless jaundice with central abdominal ache, loss of appetite and weight loss suggests carcinoma.
- The colour of urine and stools. In viral hepatitis and obstructive jaundice, pale stool and darkening urine precede the jaundice.
- Pruritus occurs before the patient becomes overtly jaundiced. The cause is unknown.
- Weight loss may suggest an underlying malignancy.
- Travel to any country where hepatitis A or any other infective cause is endemic.
- Alcohol consumption.
- Drug abuse.
- Blood transfusions.
- Contact with other jaundiced patients?
- Medication history (both prescribed and non-prescription drugs). Drugs associated with jaundice and contra-indicated in jaundice include: amitriptyline, chlorpromazine, erythromycin, halothane, imipramine, indometacin, isoniazid, methyldopa, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), oral contraceptive pill, rifampicin, salicylates, sulfonamides, thiouracil.
- Past medical history:
- A past history of hepatitis raises the possibility of chronic active hepatitis.
- A history of previous biliary surgery raises the possibility of a stone in the common bile duct.
- Malignancy particularly with breast or bowel carcinoma may present with jaundice.
- Occupational history may be important, eg in sewerage workers or people exposed to hepatotoxic chemicals.
- Family history of jaundice
- Obstetric cholestasis is a cause of mild jaundice.
- Jaundice is most easily recognised in fair-skinned individuals and difficult to detect in darkly pigmented patients.
- Most easily seen in the sclera and best seen in natural light by pulling down the lower eyelid to expose the sclera, and asking the patient to look up.
- Yellow-green in appearance in chronic, severe obstructive jaundice (biliverdin).
- Not to be confused with carotenaemia (the sclera remains white). Carotenaemia is prominent in palms, soles and face.
- Signs of underlying liver disease include:
- Spider naevi.
- Liver palms (erythema of the thenar and hypothenar eminences; may also affect the soles of the feet).
- Gynaecomastia.
- Testicular atrophy.
- Flapping tremor.
- Splenomegaly.
- Finger clubbing.
- Ascites.
- Peripheral oedema.
- Abdominal examination:
- In viral hepatitis the liver is slightly enlarged and tender.
- The liver edge in cirrhosis is firm.
- An irregular liver edge suggests malignant disease.
- If the gallbladder is palpable, it is probable that the cause of jaundice is not a stone (Courvoisier's law).
- The liver is usually smoothly enlarged in post-hepatic obstructive jaundice.
- Pancreatic tumours may be palpable.
- Splenomegaly is suggestive of cirrhosis, haematological disorders or reticulosis.
- Also check for lymphadenopathy.
Differential diagnosis
Difficulties can arise with overlapping of diseases such as autoimmune hepatitis with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and autoimmune hepatitis with hepatitis C.
- Gilbert's syndrome is the most common inherited cause of unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. It is caused by underactivity of the conjugating enzyme system. It is found in 3-7% of the population.
- Haemolytic anaemias, eg spherocytosis, pernicious anaemia.
- Thalassaemia.
- Trauma.[2]
- Crigler-Najjar syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of bilirubin metabolism, caused by deficient diphosphate glycosyltransferase.
- Viral hepatitis (including type A and type B). Other possible infective causes include leptospirosis, brucellosis, Coxiella burnetii) and glandular fever.[3][4]
- Alcoholic hepatitis.
- Autoimmune hepatitis (10-20% of chronic hepatitis). Can be associated with other autoimmune diseases.
- Drug-induced hepatitis: paracetamol is by far the most common cause of drug-induced liver disease.[5]
- Hepatotoxic chemicals, eg phosphorous, carbon tetrachloride and phenol.[6]
- Decompensated cirrhosis.
- Intrahepatic cholestasis.
- Drugs (for example, phenothiazines).
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis.[7]
- Dubin-Johnson syndrome: autosomal recessive disorder characterised by conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia and deposition of pigment in hepatocytes.
- Rotor's syndrome.
- Extrahepatic cholestasis may be from within the lumen, in the wall of the duct or from external compression:
- Bile duct strictures (can be benign or malignant).
- Common duct stone.
- Cancer of the head of the pancreas.
- Tumour of the ampulla of Vater.[8]
- Pancreatitis.[9]
- Cancer of the gallbladder.[10]
Initial investigations
See also separate article Abnormal Liver Function Tests.
Jaundice will be apparent if the total bilirubin is >35 μmol/L. It is usually easy to differentiate prehepatic causes of jaundice from hepatic and post-hepatic. It is more difficult to differentiate hepatic and post-hepatic as they often co-exist (eg obstructive jaundice with biliary cirrhosis).
In jaundice, the essential and rapid differentiation of the main causes (hepatitis, biliary stasis, haemolysis, resolution of haematoma or congenital causes) can often be achieved by:
- Urinary bilirubin and urobilinogen:
- Urinary bilirubin is normally absent but is conjugated when present (dark urine).
- Raised urinary bilirubin with absent or reduced urobilinogen is suggestive of obstructive jaundice.
- Normal or raised urinary bilirubin with elevated urobilinogen suggests hepatocellular failure or increased red cell breakdown (eg haemolytic jaundice).
- Urine dipstick analysis: urine should be tested fresh using reagent dipsticks (if left standing, pH changes and light degradation affect results). Reagent strips are very sensitive and detect very low levels of bilirubin.
- If clinically jaundiced but serum bilirubin normal and negative urinary bilirubin then the cause is hypervitaminosis A or high serum carotene from carrots, pumpkins, etc..
- False negatives for urinary bilirubin occur with rifampicin or if the urine is not fresh.
- False positives for urobilinogen occur in acute porphyria.
- False positive for urinary bilirubin may occur with phenothiazines.
- Checking LFTs (see 'Further investigations', below) and, if normal, ask for
- Levels of conjugated/unconjugated bilirubin (direct/indirect bilirubin). Light may reduce the bilirubin content and shaking the sample can artificially elevate the bilirubin.
- Raised unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin suggests:
- Gilbert's syndrome.
- Haemolysis (reticulocytes, increased urinary urobilinogen, reduced serum haptoglobin).
- Mild chronic hepatitis.
- Crigler-Najjar syndrome (levels over 85 μmol/L).
- Raised conjugated (direct) bilirubin (>10 μmol/L) suggests obstructive jaundice, including:
- Liver disease
- Pancreatic disease
- Dubin-Johnson syndrome
- Raised unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin suggests:
Further investigations
More investigations (listed with occasional notes on interpretation of results) will be necessary to allow further diagnostic differentiation:
- FBC should include a reticulocyte count and blood smear to detect haemolysis.
- ESR may be elevated for example in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).
- Lactate dehydrogenase is raised in haemolysis.
- LFTs:
- Alkaline phosphatase: considerably increased with either extrahepatic or intrahepatic biliary disease. The most common diseases associated with raised alkaline phosphatase include:
- Gallstones causing bile duct obstruction.
- Pancreatic cancer.
- Pregnancy.
- Drugs.
- More rarely, PBC.
- Serum transaminases are usually very high in hepatocellular disease (like viral hepatitis), but more modestly elevated in chronic hepatocellular damage and obstruction:
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is raised more than alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in cirrhosis, intrahepatic neoplasia, haemolytic jaundice and alcoholic hepatitis.
- ALT is raised more than AST in acute hepatitis and in extrahepatic obstruction.
- ALT levels of less than 100 IU/L with jaundice suggests obstructive jaundice.
- ALT over 400 IU/L suggests diffuse acute hepatocellular damage (for example, in viral hepatitis).
- ALT between 150-400 IU/L suggests chronic active hepatitis, viral or drug-induced hepatitis.
- Very high levels of ALT (over 1,000 IU/L) suggests acute parenchymal disease.
- Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT):
- GGT is sensitive but not specific for excess alcohol intake.
- A raised MCV with raised GGT is suggestive of alcohol abuse and, if accompanied by raised ALT, suggests liver cell damage.
- Biliary obstruction and hepatic malignancies cause very high GGT levels (x 10 normal).
- Raised GGT with raised alkaline phosphatase (over x 3 normal) suggests cholestasis.
- Alkaline phosphatase: considerably increased with either extrahepatic or intrahepatic biliary disease. The most common diseases associated with raised alkaline phosphatase include:
- Hepatitis serology should be done in all patients with cholestasis, as differentiating hepatitis from extrahepatic obstructive causes may be very difficult.
- Prothrombin time may be prolonged because of vitamin K malabsorption. Injection of vitamin K will correct deficiency in cholestasis but not in parenchymal liver disease.
- Serum antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA): the hallmark of PBC is antimitochondrial antibodies (90-95% of patients with PBC are positive); ANA is positive in 20-50% of patients with PBC.
- Serum immunoglobulins and serum electrophoresis in acute hepatitis when autoimmune hepatitis is suspected. IgG is raised in acute hepatitis, IgM is raised in autoimmune disease, PBC or chronic infection.
- Alpha-1-antitrypsin levels: deficiency causes cirrhosis and emphysema.
- Ferritin to screen for haemochromatosis.
- Imaging:[11]
- Plain radiographs are of little value, as few biliary tract calculi are radiopaque.
- Abdominal ultrasound can detect liver abnormalities, hepatosplenomegaly and gallstones.[12] It is useful to identify the extrahepatic causes of biliary obstruction but is also good at identifying intrahepatic disease (for example, malignant disease).[13]
- CT scan.
- MRI scanning and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): MRCP has been recommended with a predictive scoring system to reduce the number of patients undergoing unnecessary endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).[14] It may become the test of choice in obstructive jaundice.[15]
- Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography is used much less often.
- ERCP is accurate at diagnosing benign and extrahepatic obstruction and can be combined with procedures to relieve obstruction.[13]
- Liver biopsy can be done laparoscopically or percutaneously. It may be necessary, for example, to stage disease in PBC.
- Laparotomy may ultimately be required to make the diagnosis in some cases of jaundice.[16]
This will depend on the diagnosis and cause of the jaundice.

Pregnancy Articles
You're pregnant! The next question is: When is the baby due? Calculating
the pregnancy due date is not complicated. There are several methods to
calculate your estimated due date, but we all know that babies have their
own timetables and most don't arrive on the estimated due date. The age of the developing baby is called the "gestational age."
Since the exact date of conception is seldom known, the date of the mother's
last period is often used to begin calculating when the baby is due. The normal due date is 40
weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period Another way to calculate the pregnancy due date is from conception, if
known. Since ovulation and conception usually occur two weeks after the
first day of the last menstrual period, the pregnancy due date is 38 weeks
from conception. Probably the most accurate way to confirm the baby's gestational age and
calculate the due date is by confirming one of the above methods with an
ultrasound. Ultrasound is used to measure the baby, and these measurements
are used to calculate gestational age. This test is non-invasive and can be
performed as early as 5-6 weeks after the last menstrual period. The most
accurate results are obtained between 8-18 weeks from the beginning of the
last menstrual period. The results of the ultrasound, combined with the
calculated date from the first day of the last period, provide a relatively
firm due date. Women whose periods are irregular encounter difficulty using the first
day of the last period or conception methods and usually must rely on the
ultrasound examination. However, if the baby is unusually large or small,
even the ultrasound may not provide enough information to estimate the due
date. Maria writes for Pregnancy

factory crimp question
Hey all few questions.
for the bullet seating how will i know for sure when its seated right ( a dummy round i made with bullet measured out 1.10) how will i know if the bullet seating die put a crimp to the bullet and when i install the FCD best way to see it put a nice crimp. and why is a 308 factory crimp die cheaper then a 9mm..

Assuming you're talking about 9mm.....it's seated right when it will feed and chamber reliably in your gun. It depends a lot on the bullet design and your chamber, I would probably test fire a couple dozen before locking into a particular length.
For 9mm you don't really need "crimp" so much as just to make sure any flare is ironed down from the case mouth. The seating die will do that based on how far down the die body itself is set. Properly done, a nice taper crimp doesn't really look like a crimp at all - the case mouth opening is just flat against the bullet (but not flush on the outside). The FC die is more expensive for pistol rounds because it also resizes your loaded round again to make sure it will chamber. FC dies for bottleneck rifle rounds do not do that. |

I will add that the pistol fcd is also carbide lined.. That alone makes the price difference.

I use the FCD for 9mm and 45 Auto for pistol and 357 Magnum and 45 Colt for revolvers. For the pistols I've had best results, and the caliper micrometer measurements at the case mouths confirm this, by doing it this way: raise the press ram with shell holder to the top. Screw in the FCD until the die body touches the shell holder and back off the crimping stem. Lower the press and then raise a cartridge with a seated bullet into the die body and lower the crimping stem until it touches the case mouth. Lower the press handle and then screw in the crimping stem 1/2 turn. Now you're set up for a perfect taper crimp, just enough to iron out the flare. With the revolvers I use a half turn with plated bullets for a nice, light roll crimp that doesn't cut the plating. With jacketed bullets at magnum level loads I'll use a 3/4 turn for a firm roll crimp into the cannelure. Lee's instructions say you can use a full turn with the revolvers but I've found 3/4 to be perfect for a firm roll crimp. My rifle is a T/C Encore with 223 and 7mm-08 barrels and I don't crimp those at all. Can't help you with the rifle crimp die.

Do not expect the carbide sizer to touch every round. It is a fail safe tool for the occasional bad round that could ruin your day. http://leeprecision.com/cgi-data/instruct/Pistol4.pdf Last edited by the led farmer; June 18, 2013 at 09:37 PM. |

Lee's FCD (Factory Crimp Die) performs two functions. Crimping and post-sizing. The two operations are independent of one another and cometimes work at cross-purposes. With lead bullets, sometimes the post-sizing reduces the grip the case has on the bullet. The grip the case has on the bullet is important for three reasons.
1) It keeps the bullet from being knocked deeper into the case during handling and very important, during feeding. This is most significant in autoloaders 2) It keeps the bullet from being pulled out of the case during handling, and very important, during recoil of its brother rounds. This is most significant in revolvers. 3) It keeps the bullet from moving out of the case until a threshold of pressure has been reached. This is most significant with slow powders, but important with all powders. In taper-crimped cartridges, the bullet tension (the grip the case has on the bullet) is provided by friction more than by crimp. If you post-size a case onto a lead bullet, the case springs back more than the lead does, reducing bullet tension. This is less problematic with jacketed bullets than with lead, but can occur with either. If your dies are adjusted correctly, the Lee FCD will NOT post-size your loaded cartridges. You will be able to tell if it is by carefully feeling the resistance as you run the cartridge into and out of the die. The main reason for the existence of a crimp die that operates separate from the (usual) seat/crimp combination die is to simplify installing and adjusting those dies and to prevent the case mouth from digging into the sides of bullet as it is being seated. (This can happen with a strong crimp - mainly roll crimp - on a bullet while it is still being pushed deeper into the case by the seating plug. This is virtually unavoidable with the combo die, but if it is moderate presents no problem.) I suggest reading these threads: Not necessary 99% of the time, but convenient. Lee Precision's thoughts on the matter can be found in these threads: One thread contains a lively discussion of the FCD and the function of the post-sizing carbide ring in the FCD. The phrase "9mm" is in the thread title, but don't let that dissuade you. It contains responses direct from Lee Precision, too. Read the whole thing. It is worth it. http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=465091 this thread contains a poll http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=465603 The Virtue and the Vice http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=509934 http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=691050 http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB3/vie...?f=11&t=168362 http://rugerforum.net/reloading/6586...tml#post814465 Lost Sheep |

lots of helpful information thanks all.
reason im asking is i bought a FCD but i guess i picked the wrong one up (308) i do want to get a FCD but they are sold out or expensive to those who have it (9mm). so its on my to get list. i measure with bullet in 1.10 because the remington (store bought) rounds measure that. i made a few rounds to adjust the bullet seating die and this was the last round to come out let me know how it looks. i compared it to the remington and the lip at the end of the brass near the bullet felt the same. i even loaded two rounds that matched and they went in and out pretty smooth. also to note incase it makes a difference is there is no powder or primer in these. waiting for my powder and adjusting the seating before i use what primers i have. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dwsga1o92s...619_010723.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/dwsga1o92s...619_010723.jpg and just to toss it in there. this is a spent primer reused to adjust screw on the load master how does it look to deep, to high? https://www.dropbox.com/s/h6aoz8ysep...615_004200.jpg |

Western Digital Red 3.5" 4TB and 2.5" 1TB NAS HDD Full Review - WD Red Mini?
Last July, I went on a bit of a mini-rant about how using a bunch of drives not meant to be in a RAID could potentially lead to loss of the entire array from only a few bad sectors spread across several disks. Western Digital solved this problem by their introduction of the WD Red series. That series capped out at 3TB, and users were pushing for larger storage capacities for their NAS devices. In addition to the need for larger disks came the need for *smaller* disks as well, as there are some manufacturers that wish to create NAS / HTPC type devices that house multiple 2.5" HDD's. One such device is the Drobo Mini - a 4x2.5" device which has not really had a 'proper' NAS storage element available - until now:
Today Western Digital has announced a twofold expansion to their Red Series. First is a 4TB capacity in their 3.5" series, and second is a 2.5" iteration of the Red, available in both 750GB and 1TB capacities.
As a recap of what can potentially happen if you have a large RAID with 'normal' consumer grade HDD's (and by consumer grade I mean those without any form of Time Limited Error Recovery, or TLER for short):
- Array starts off operating as normal, but drive 3 has a bad sector that cropped up a few months back. This has gone unnoticed because the bad sector was part of a rarely accessed file.
- During operation, drive 1 encounters a new bad sector.
- Since drive 1 is a consumer drive it goes into a retry loop, repeatedly attempting to read and correct the bad sector.
- The RAID controller exceeds its timeout threshold waiting on drive 1 and marks it offline.
- Array is now in degraded status with drive 1 marked as failed.
- User replaces drive 1. RAID controller initiates rebuild using parity data from the other drives.
- During rebuild, RAID controller encounters the bad sector on drive 3.
- Since drive 3 is a consumer drive it goes into a retry loop, repeatedly attempting to read and correct the bad sector.
- The RAID controller exceeds its timeout threshold waiting on drive 3 and marks it offline.
- Rebuild fails.
- Blamo, your data is now (mostly) inaccessible.
I went into much further detail on this back in the intro to the WD 3TB Red piece, but the short of it is that you absolutely should use a HDD intended for RAID when building one, and Western Digital is removing that last excuse for not doing so by introducing a flagship 4TB capacity to the Red Series.
Continue reading our review of the new WD 3.5" and 2.5" Hard Drives!!
Have they removed the limitation on how many of them you can have in one server?
It's really more of a recommendation than a limit. There is no way an individual Red knows how many other drives are in the array. I'd say that if you are running more than 8 drives, you should be looking into the SE or RE series drives, as they have additional accelerometers that help deal with seek issues that crop up when you have the enture chassis vibrating at the harmonic of >8 HDD's.
Reason it is a recommendation i think this video explains a bit of it.
Ok, thank you. Yeah, I've been using the 3TB RE, but they're expensive :/
Thanks for doing this review. I am looking forward to finally buying that NAS i've always wanted.
Software RAID solutions such as SnapRAID, FlexRAID, unRAID, etc., will not fail in the manner you describe when a non-TLER drive encounters a bad sector. In fact, they should recover from bad sectors quite reliably.
The fact that these RAID solutions can use consumer-grade drives is only one of the advantages over hardware RAID.
I shy away from those solutions as there is not yet a solid way to recover data from a failed array. With conventional RAID, there exist many tools that can re-stitch a RAID back together from drive images, even with a missing drive or partially missing data. This is not so with most software implementations, and it's also the reason I tried so hard to break the DroboPro prior to blessing it off in our review. There is a new iteration of FlexRAID that's supposed to merge individual drive file systems transparently (and leave those file systems present). That's an idea that I like, but it's a bit 'pro' for people who are just looking to populate an off-the-shelf NAS. Besides, the Reds are a minimal cost premium over Greens, and I have no issue throwing in an additional $10/HDD for dynamic spindle balancing alone. 24/7 support line and TLER are added bonuses.
Good review, I've been thinking about grabbing some WD Red's for a future Server build.
You recommend not using 3rd party controllers for high speed storage, does that recommendation stay when it comes to say a good (think $350+) RAID controller for a RAID 5 setup?
And what brand or specific controllers do you recommend for a RAID 5 with 4 drives?, up to RAID 6 with 8 drives.
I personally use (and recommend) an Areca RAID card, driving 8x 3TB Reds in a RAID-5. Yes, I have a backup of that (to a DroboPro).
Hey Allyn, can you tell it to me like I'm 5 again the color branding of WD drives?
I know that black/caviar was to be their high end stuff for consumers and Green is their really slow "environmentally friendly" budget brand.
I think there is at least Blue and Red, red being for slow performance and 24/7 hardcore read/writes. Am I correct on this? Anyways what the hell are the other colors? Blue does what again?
Blue is more for their Caviar Blue line, which is more for the mobile market (i.e. 2.5" drives). It's sort-of like the equivalent of Green, but for laptops. There are 3.5" Blues, but they are OEMish and have reduced warranty (2-year) over Reds.
@Allyn - Your failure scenario is probably a little naiive as most hardware controllers these days do periodic scrubs and also support SMART data.
Moreover you can mark drives as online even after it has displayed an URE and then scrub the disks which will fix the problem for you.
Not trying to be an arse, and it does make sense to get reds or REs but your scenario does seem to have some holes in it.
Forcing drives back online does no good if the read error remains in-place and is not mapped out and/or ignored by the controller. This means that when you attempt a rebuild after forcing that drive back online, it will once again fail. There are *some* controllers with enough flexibility to get around this, but it's a crapshoot at best. In most scenarios, one drive failing hard and a second with a permanent read error, will time out the entire array each and every time access is attempted, be it during the arrempted rebuild or when the related array LBA is accessed. Most people are not experienced enough with RAID configs and are more likely to break the array for good as opposed to resurrecting it. In addition, it doesn't matter how 'pro' you are if that bad sector on the second failed drive happens to be in the MFT. It's going to time out and die over and over, regardless of how many times you go back and force it online.
I speak from personal experience on the above. The only way to recover was to reinitialize the array using an image in place of the second failure, removing the problem HDD (and timeout) from the equation entirely. As an added data point, another staff member here had a similar array failure which required an even more complicated recovery (imaging 2 of 3 drives of the RAID, as both had a handfull of read errors that were causing timeouts). In both cases, hours of work could have been very easily avoided if TLER was present. The drives would have reported their read error as opposed to timing out, and everything would have functioned properly. It really boils down to the HDD calling a sector unreadable in a reasonable ammount of time.
Further, in both above scenarios, only 1 of the 4 failed drives reported smart errors. This is not unheard of, as simialr findings were reported in the Google HDD analysis paper. In my scenario, the array was scrubbed weekly (scheduled). The first drive failed hard *during* a scrub, and the second read error occurred during the rebuild after the first failure drive was replaced. So in that fairly standard scenario of discovering and replacing a failed drive, a subsequent error caused the need for pro-level steps to restore it. The fictional scenario in my article assumes no scrubs mainly because you'd be surprised just how many consumer / home office arrays are not performing any scheduled scrubs on their array.
I have a 3TB version of WD NAS and empty slot .What do you recommend for my NAS drive? I'm a storage addicted and every TB counts for me .Despite the RAID case.
I recently purchased a 2TB model for use as ReadyNAS attached to router. Even though my setup is a single drive config I have to say it is awesome. Compared to a WD Black 1TB I was using before it is just about silent and vibrationless. I could hear the old hdd thru the walls at night, but not this one.
The biggest difference by far is the amount of time it takes to "re-read" drive content. For those annoying times when either the router or smart tv gets confused when files get renamed/moved and a restart is required, it takes half the time (or better) than the original WD Black to re-scan content.... even though they both have 64MB cache.
I assume that the scenario described Allyn is only relevant for RAID 5 or RAID 0?
I have a RAID 1 mirror setup in my Synology 2-Bay with 2 x Hitachi 4tb and also a Zyxel NSA325 with 2 x WD Green 2tb drives . Both NAS are running RAID 1. I have had no issues with either so far.
I used to have 2 x WD BLACK 750gb drives running RAID 1 in my PC and at some point the RAID failed due to a fault on the drive. I subsequently found that the Black's don't like RAID setups due to the firmware's involved (I assume the bug described in Allyns write up is the same).
According to Synology's website, the WD Black class is compatible with their systems. A coworker of mine has a DS411 totally populated with WD Blacks, and has had zero problems. Other than luck on his part, is it possible that Synology disables TLER through a software command?
I'll be buying a DS412+ within the next few weeks, and I'm scratching my head over what HDDs to use as well. I'd like the black series for performance, but based on what I've read (here and elsewhere), red seems to be the better choice.
Aside from a minimal boost to seeks, I'd favor Reds over Blacks for a home NAS. You'd only see a measurable benefit if the NAS was seeing heavy multi-stream multi-user random access usage. Reds can handle a few sequential streams (i.e. data copies mixed with video streaming) just fine.
Yup, same for RAID-1 as RAID-5. My scenario doesn't really apply for RAID-0, as once a drive times out the array goes away until you force it back online.
Synology boxes will work with Blacks, but if they are not TLER enabled, you still risk the timeout scenario with a RAID-1 mirror.
Does "better dead than RED" still hold ?
*Cold-war humor*
Нет мой друг! "Красно всегда лучше!"
(No my friend! Red is always better)
:-) :-) :-)
Ruskis gave in to Capitalism...we won !
Looking at populating this 8 slot nas box with some WD drives. Can I get away with the 4tb reds or do I really need to invest into RE drives. Mild usage...
The most wanted REDs still missing - 2.5" drives 2TB in size (they are 15mm height). Low power usage, twice the capacity.
Does the default head parking value of 8sec on 4TB RED cause additional wear?
I have seen a lot of complaint about WD RED no longer disabling intellipark for 4TB drives. But no actual data on if it's bad.
I'm surprised though that your review does not mention this.

Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Country
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid, lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier, shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me
In the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive
I was a sailor
I was borne upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off
They said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around, I'll always be around
And around and around and around and around
I fly a starship across the universe divine
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps, I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again and again
And again and again and again and again

Martha O'Neil
Martha O'Neil June 24, 1912 - October 8, 2009 After 97 years of flowing with the seasons of the year, Martha O'Neil departed this life on the beautiful Fall day of October 8, 2009. She will be remembered as a strongly independent woman who was filled with optimism to the end. To her dying day Martha was sure she would win the Readers Digest Sweepstakes. She prided herself in being Eatonville's oldest resident. She would not entertain the thought of not living out her days in the home in which she raised her three children, nurtured her eight grandchildren, her fourteen great grandchildren, and two great, great grandchildren. She found much joy in the special friendships established in Eatonville and in particular with her dear friend Kaye Dorn. All of us will treasure the happy times spent with Grandma in her kitchen, garden, and ceramic shop learning from her great artistic and domestic skills while being enchanted by tales of the pioneering days. Martha is preceded in death by her husband Lloyd, her parents Westley Scoggins and Susie Fiander Scoggins, and her siblings Myrtle Scoggins Forgey and Robert Scoggins. She is survived by her three children Peggy O'Neil Higgins (husband Robert), Larry O'Neil (wife Margie), and Don O'Neil (deceased wife Judy). Memorial Services were held on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. in the Garden Chapel at the Mountain View Memorial Park, 4100 Steilacoom Blvd SW, Lakewood 98496. The family is asking that memorial donations be made to the Eatonville Fire Department/EMS, PO Box 291, Eatonville, WA 98328. The family request no flowers. The O'Neil family would like to thank the Eatonville Fire Department/EMS, Kirk and Suzanne at Kirk's Pharmacy in Eatonville for all they have done for Martha as well as Dr. Mark Craddock for all the special nurturing and care he has given to his oldest patient over the years.

Kevin D. Iams
Kevin D. Iams April 25, 1983 -- August 25, 2009 Those of us who knew him loved him, because he was just so easy to love. Kevin had a tender heart and his love for others knew no bounds. He was a much-loved son, an adored brother, and a cherished grandson. The Baublits and Iams family with the aunts, uncles and many cousins, all had a special place in his heart and he in theirs. He will be so missed. Life is immortal. Love is eternal. Death is a horizon. And a horizon is simply the limit of human sight. All of us can almost see him still. Kevin is survived by his mother and stepfather, Beverly and Terry Wilson, father and stepmother KW and Gretchen Iams, brother Bryan (Sarah and nephew Clayton) Iams, sisters Ashley and Taylor Kurth, stepbrothers Micah (Melanie and nephew Tanner) Wilson and Darian (Masako, nephews DJ and Iain, nieces Lita and Amber) Wilson, grandparents Nancy Iams, Don and Dee Baublits, Shirley Cox, and Carol Kurth and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Crossing Church, 10625 Pacific Ave. S, Tacoma, or to your favorite charity. Memorial services was held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 29, 2009, at Eatonville Baptist Church, 825 Eatonville Highway, Eatonville. Arrangements by Fir Lane Funeral Home.

Jim McKee October 6, 1951 - June 20, 2009 Jim, doing what he loved. June 22, 2009 Our loving husband, brother and father, Jim McKee was born on October 6, 1951 in Tacoma. He was the son of Al and Ruth McKee. He left us unexpectedly the morning of June 20 with his dear Lucy by his side. He was raised in Tacoma, but called Eatonville home where he learned farming from his mother-in-law. There he and Lucy raised two beautiful daughters, Karly and Kate. He loved fishing, garage sales, "junkin," hunting, the annual family ocean getaway, the outdoors, and spending time with his three wonderful girls. His happy-hour buddy Bennet (his three-year-old great nephew), and most recently the family dog Hank, were his biggest fans. He was employed at Jones Chemicals for over 30 years. Before he was taken from us so soon, he got to enjoy two separate fishing trips. One with Karly and her boyfriend Paul, to Lake Lenore and this last Tuesday with Kate to Kapowsin Lake where he caught the only fish! He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife Lucy, their two daughters Kate and Karly. Also by his sisters Linda (Ray) Arment, and Joan (Hal) Dimond and dozens of nieces, nephews and family members including his much loved Swiss family. He will be missed by his shooting buddies, Ron, Wes, and Dave. Please keep your cherished memories of Jim in your hearts forever. The memorial potluck service will be held Sunday, June 28 at the Swiss Sportsman's Club, 9205 198th Ave., Bonney Lake at 2 p.m., beverages and desserts provided (casual attire). Jim valued education and enjoyed tutoring and teaching in his spare time. His wish was that memorials be made to Eatonville Dollars for Scholars, P. O. Box 1155, Eatonville, 98328, in memory of Ida Schilter Karlin or Suzanne Surface. Lucy and her girls would like to thank everyone for their love, support and prayers.

The diversity of geography and ecosystems can excite even the most extreme outdoor enthusiast to go camping in Washington. Try climbing, hiking, biking, boating, canoeing, fishing, golfing and horseback riding. Once comfortably parked in one of the many RV parks in Washington, you can pursue winter sports such as downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. For alpine adventure, look toward Mount Rainier at 14,411 feet high, the highest mountain in Washington. Paradise, at 5,420 feet, receives an average of 680 inches of snowfall every year, making it one of the consistently snowiest places on Earth
Closer to sea level, camping in Washington along the Pacific Coast is the perfect venue for surfing, scuba diving, taking a leisurely walk on beautiful sandy beaches or watching the surf crash on the rocky coastline. Taking into account the Pacific Coast of Washington and the state's extensive tidal waterways and island perimeters, there are more than 3,000 miles of coastline. Some RV parks in Washington are located near one of the amazing numbers of glacier-fed rivers, freshwater lakes, or scenic reservoirs. It's a paradise for people who love water and all things you can do on it and in it.
Fishing and RVing often go hand in hand and RV camping in Washington State allows you to fish for rainbow trout in glacier-fed rivers, reel in wild Chinook salmon in coastal waters, or catch a sturgeon from the depths of the Columbia River. It's said that Washington's fish are hungry and surprisingly gullible. Don't forget the dozens of beautiful lakes and reservoirs with opportunity for more fishing and active water sports.
Even in Washington's largest cities—Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and Vancouver—you'll still be close to the natural beauty of the region, but now with a healthy dose of urban living. Christened "The Emerald City," Seattle is surrounded by lakes, rivers, Puget Sound, and mountains. It's also home to Microsoft, Nordstrom and Starbucks and is known as the birthplace of the crazes for grunge rock and espresso coffee. As you see, camping in Washington can be urban, country, mountainous, coastal, or water bound. No matter where you are in the Evergreen State, you'll go home with memories to last a lifetime.

"And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise." Hebrews 6:15
At 2pm on Monday September 2, 2013, Diana Nyad staggered onto the beach at Key West FL after having completed a 110 mile swim from Cuba to the USA. The exhausted 60 year old had three things she wanted to say to the world: "One is we should never ever give up. Two is you are never too old to chase your dreams. And three is it looks like a solitary sport but it takes a team." These are inspiring words that are packed with meaning and hope for all of us.
This was her fifth attempt at this tremendous feat of human endurance. She had tried and failed four times before but she was determined to fulfill her dream and refused to quit. Her success was 31 years in the making. When she first attempted it the benefit of youthful vigor was available to her. But her success so many years later proves that age is no barrier to determination. Finally she expresses the value of team. What may often appear to be a solitary effort can only find success because of the team behind the apparently solitary individual.
As I think about what was accomplished by this amazing woman the noun, endurance, keeps echoing in my brain. Everything about her success screams endurance. Never give up. You're never too old. It takes a dedicated team.
The word, endure or some variant of it appears many times in the Bible. In most of those instances it refers to the enduring nature of the love, righteousness, faithfulness or mercy of God. In other instances like the one above it refers to the faithfulness of an individual who trusted in God, like Abraham, trusting even though what God had promised seemed impossible.
Endurance takes work. Diana Nyad trained, planned, developed her team, raised funds and then swam with a determination that did not know how to quit. Having enduring faith takes work too. Abraham had to train his mind to change the way he thought, subordinate his will, get out of God's way and trust God's time table.
Do you have a big dream? Would you like to change the direction your life is going in? Have you made some mistakes or done some things that you regret? Motivational speaker, the late Zig Ziglar said, "Don't let the mistakes and disappointments of the past control and direct your future." We don't have to give up and accept mediocrity as our norm. If we are willing to endure a little hardship, make some sacrifices and endure the discomfort of change, we can each accomplish a life that is full of meaning and purpose.
Be a blessing.
